Richard F. Maag ’50

Body

Dick died May 26, 2017, in Charlotte, N.C.

He graduated from Lakewood (Ohio) High School. He left Princeton after his sophomore year to enlist in the Army, where he earned a lieutenant’s commission and served in Europe during World War II reconstruction.

We heard from him during our 50th reunion, when he reported he had married Dorothy Dwyer in 1953 and entered the banking business in the Cleveland area, where he was born. He spent his final 20 working years as a marketing and communications consultant to financial institutions. He retired in 1991 and moved to North Carolina, eventually settling in Pinehurst.

Baseball and golf were his sports passions. He was a lifelong Cleveland Indians fan and shot three holes-in-one. Along with community and church activities, he enjoyed gardening, painting, and model railroading.

He is survived by his wife, Dorothy; four sons; and five grandchildren.
